To develop it as a secure and stable neighbourhood community where all the basic needs are fulfilled . Promote community participation and encourage local entrepreneurship to restore economic productivity by creating a new morphology for self employment practices in such communities. To make a conscious effort in evolving social networking to ease their exposure ensuring that it is linked and interacts with the major nearby towns and suburbs. Scope Providing architectural solutions so that the needs of these internally displaced persons are met in terms of safety,community/belonging,esteem and self actualisation. ---rehabilitation housing for the victims ---nursing homes,dispensary ---secondary level education ---public spaces for local interaction Creating ownership among the community,Long term focus and developing relationships. Generating income through home based enterprises which has a multiplier effect on the society. ---local set up of cottage industries ---skill development centre,vocational training centre Limitations No concrete source available to collect data on pre riot conditions. Media manipulation create an image that results in ambiguity and thus it fails to ensure a piece which meticulously present both sides of the story. Due to certain circumstances visiting nearby riot hit villages is not possible ,hence it limits our reach. Site available might not accomodate all the requirements therefore land acquisition proposal has to be given. PREREQUISITE Develop an understanding of the nuances of the rural life. Study the demographic transition in a riot hit area. Study the role of NGO’s and other state agencies in a riot hit village. Understanding the present social condition of the refugee colony using the cultural and economic factors as a measure. INITIAL APPROACH STEPWISE PROCEDURE DETAILED PROCEDURE Need for Study Traditionally, rural settlements represent the best synthesis of people’s ability to modify the environment to their own advantage . Moreover India on the lines of an alleged developing nation is rapidly rising on the ashes of its backwoods. Nearly five lakh villages exist in India. While only about 28 per cent of the population lives in the cities, 72 per cent of the population lives in the villages. The villages thus occupy a place of great importance in the country. Issue Selection A grave humanitarian crisis has unfolded, and victims are lodged at the refugee colony are facing official neglect and terrible living conditions .All living beings on earth are entitled to live a secure life with familiar surrounding around them. But they were left with nothing of this when the misfortune struck. They are not able to satisfy lower level basic needs only before they progress on to meet higher level growth needs. Their society has to be empowered in order to overcome their hardships and the economic stagnancy. It is essential for these people to get rid of the stigma of the past. The plight of the survivors stranded between the apathy and ostracism of the society however speak a very different story.The present is of suffering, longing and depravity and hopes for a better future is non-existent. Making the situation worse is the silent suffering and the life of anonymity they are forced to lead in absence of any media coverage and efforts of outreach.The common public needs to be informed and sensitized to their existence and calls for help. The question here arises, as to how the society could be empowered in order to overcome their hardships and the economic stagnancy.The impending thaw, and the need of coming to terms with the harsh reality of reconstructing the very fabric of the community from scratch, puts us in a position to take notice, assess and ascertain the ways and methods to take in order to make it possible.To kick off this promising relationship with the community that we all are a part of, we need to work together to bring an end to the misery. Issue Introduction “Humanity is dying. All that is human is disappearing, And all that is inhuman is becoming more and more dominating and powerful.” -Osho, The Book of Wisdom, Ch 24 They say Communal wellbeing is central to human life but communal violence has become a major killer in India. The number of people being killed and maimed by other human beings at certain times and places exceeds those killed by diseases. In disgust people resort to violent means and become highly destructive .People do not understand a simple fact that if a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another. A socio-biologist has described the periodic violence in cities as part of the ‘urban pathology’. Cramped living quarters, daily brush with overcrowding and skyscrapers co-existing with slums; are some of the characteristics of this urban phenomenon.In comparison rural areas are, by and large, self governed entities and there is hardly any worthwhile police presence at the village level. Peace is maintained as a ‘social compact’. There are many causes that have changed the rural social landscape and social compact; ranging from rapid communication to birth of new category -- ‘Ruburnisation’ (sort urbanised rural area).But in case of India, electoral politics dividing society in majority/minority, going on since the early 1990s, is a major contributing factor to this heightened tension between communities. What seems to be happening in 2013 is that the fruits of this poisonous tree seem to have matured in form of estrangement between communities.1 There have been periodic instances of communal violence in India since 1947. There is a significant change in the pattern of communal riots since the 1990 and a shift has occurred in the nature of communal riots in India. Religion in most of the cases is not the reason why communal riots occur. The reason for the occurrence of communal violence has been different in the two different phases. During the time of partition, it was the clash of political interests of the elite of two different communities which resulted in communal riots. But, from the 1960s till the late 1980s, the local political and economic factors played a very important role in instigating riots. The emergence of politics("poly" meaning "many", and "tics" meaning "blood-sucking parasites") in the last two decades has been a cause of communal riots in this phase where the local factors have also helped in instigating riots. “The lawlessness [of communalism] is a monster with many faces. It hurts all in the end, including those who are primarily responsible for it” -Mahatma Gandhi The Communal violence is one of the major threats to Indian democracy. It has been a barrier to the socio- economic development of India. Serious disturbance in communal harmony cause widespread destruction that even after unprecedented levels of funding later on it never quite come to full fruition. To some extent one can cope up with a natural disaster but recovering from the aftermath of a communal carnage where one's survival and sense of security is constantly threatened is perhaps improbable. The communal issue has deep roots in the Indian past. Few examples that caused devastation and destruction of property and life are- Hindu Muslim riot in Madhya Pradesh in 1961 Ahmedabad riots of 1969 1984 riots, following the assassination of Indira Gandhi Meerut riots of 1987 Bhagalpur riots in 1989 1 http://www.rediff.com/news/column/the-danger-signal-from-the-muzafarnagar-riots Mumbai riots in 1992 following by demolition of Bari Masjid Gujrat riots in 2002 Latest one are Muzaffarnagar riots in September 2013 that has prompted several villages to fight this situation of a civil unrest where provision for the restorative relief, rehabilitation and compensation to all persons affected by communal violence was very difficult. It is absolutely clear that even the best efforts of the army cannot prevent killings once rural areas get affected by the communal virus. 2013 MUZAFFARNAGAR RIOTS fig1: Mohammed Kadir, who lost his son and daughter-in-law in the riots, has now taken refuge in palda village with his grandsons Fig2: A boy looks at a burnt house in Lisad village in Muzaffarnagar district (UP) The clashes between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Muzaffarnagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India in August–September 2013, resulted in at least 62 deaths including 42 Muslims and 20 Hindus and injured 93 and left more than 50,000 displaced. By 17 September, the curfew was lifted from all riot affected areas and the army was also withdrawn. “I worry about my kids being molested, my house being burglarized, my oldest boy being shot” These were the voices of mothers living in dangerous neighbourhoods of Qutba .The riot has been described as "the worst violence in Uttar Pradesh in recent history", with the army, as a result, being deployed in the state for the first time in last 20 years. It is for the first time after the september 1969 gujarat riots that a rural area has been affected by inter-community violence. State Government had organised relief camps in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts for riot victims of 9,000 families, with over 50,000 members.

  • Anti-Muslim Hatred and Discrimination Submission from Dia Kayyali Associate Director of Advocacy at Mnemonic, Independent Consul
    Anti-Muslim Hatred and Discrimination Submission from Dia Kayyali Associate Director of Advocacy at Mnemonic, independent consultant on technology and human rights, and co-chair of the Christchurch Call Advisory Network1 [email protected] Summary: This submission focuses on the online aspect of anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination (Islamophobia). Content that incites violence against Muslims is too often left up on major social media platforms, while important content produced by Muslims is often removed. This leads to diminishing opportunities for justice in conflict zones such as Syria, while facilitating increased violence against Muslim communities around the world. Furthermore, online content is never solely online. Rather, it is intimately linked to violence and discrimination against Muslims in a harmful feedback loop. How the online feeds into the offline and back again, creating a vicious cycle The online component of Islamophobia has deadly consequences for Muslims around the world. At the same time, predominantly Muslim communities see content they post online regularly removed by major social media companies. Islamophobia, like other social ills, is stuck in a dangerous feedback loop. Offline discrimination and violence lead to online hate speech and dangerous speech. This content then worsens discrimination, and sometimes directly incites offline violence and other negative consequences. The cycle is self-perpetuating, and it is deadly. Muslim lives have already been lost as a result, and Islamophobia threatens other essential human rights including freedoms of expression and religion. Who is Muslim? Islamophobia doesn’t just impact Muslims. As outlined in this submission, it also impacts people who are secular or practice other religions but are in Muslim majority countries or communities.

We call on you to ensure that the ongoing human rights audit of Facebook India reported by Time Magazine is overseen by high level staff in your Menlo Park office, increase engagement with human rights and grassroots organizations in conducting the audit and devising solutions to the continuing problem of dangerous content on your platform, and put Head of Public Policy Ankhi Das on leave pending completion of the audit.1 The need to act is urgent - lives are at stake.

  • Violence Against Women in Ethnic Riots an Interpretive Exercise Based on Anti-Muslim Riots in Gujarat, 2002 and Uttar-Pradesh, 2013 in India
    Violence Against Women in Ethnic Riots An Interpretive Exercise Based on Anti-Muslim Riots in Gujarat, 2002 and Uttar-Pradesh, 2013 in India By Misha Maitreyi Submitted to the Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Lea Sgier Budapest, Hungary June 2017 CEU eTD Collection Abstract This thesis attempts to conduct a study of communal riots of Gujarat (2002) and Uttar Pradesh (2013) through an interpretive lens. The research focuses on violence against women in these Hindu-Muslim riots in India and presents the cases of communal violence in the broader context of Indian politics. With the study of the existing literature, it presents a detailed description of the riots, followed by a discussion on the elements of complicit political forces and commonality of gender violence. It looks at gender violence through the lens of physical and symbolic violence perpetrated against women. Moreover, it attempts to develop an understanding of the riots through the perspective of hidden political motivations beneath it. Finally, the thesis places these riots within the larger Indian political context by discussing the political history of the country, arguing that competitive electoral democracy was not present since the formation of independent India in 1947. Rather, it evolved in the 1970s-1980s with the weakening of the oldest political party, Congress Party and the rise of Mandal-Mandir agitations. The thesis also locates the rise of Hindutva politics of BJP in that period and how it has strengthened till now in context of communal riots in the country.

  • Death Penalty & Genocide SWRK4007
    Death Penalty & Genocide SWRK4007 Dr. Anupam Kumar Verma Assistant Professor Dept. of Social Work MGCUB, Bihar DEATH PENALTY Capital punishment Death Penalty, also known as the Capital Punishment, is a government sanctioned practice whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. Death penalty or Capital Punishment is a legal process wherein a person is put to death by a state in accordance to a crime committed. Crimes that are punishable by Death are known as capital crimes or capital offences, and commonly include offences such as Murder, Treason, War crimes, Crimes against humanity and Genocide. Capital punishment has been used over the years by almost every society in order to punish the guilty for some particular crimes such as punishment for premeditated murder, espionage (Secret) , treason etc. In some countries sexual crimes such as Rape, or related activities carry the death penalty, so does Religious Crimes such as Apostasy (the formal renunciation of the State religion). Worldwide only 58 nations (Iran, United States, Egypt, Nigeria including India) are actively practicing capital punishment, whereas 95 countries(France, South Korea, Alska, Ghana, Ireland) have abolished the use of capital punishment Types of Death Penalty: In Ancient History– Crushing by Elephant, Blood Eagle, Boiling to Death, Stoning, Garrote. - Crucifixion -Lethal injection (2001) - Hanging to till Death - Electric chair(1926) -Gas -Firing squad Cases & Statement: In the Judgment of ‘Bachan Singh v/s State of Punjab (1980)2SCJ475’, 1980, the Supreme Court ruled that death penalty should only be used in the ‘Rarest of Rare’ cases, but does not give a definition as to what ‘Rarest of Rare’ means.

  • Jats Into Kisans
    TIF - Jats into Kisans SATENDRA KUMAR April 2, 2021 Farmers attending the kisan mahapanchayat at Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, 29 January. The tractors carry the flag of the Bharatiya Kisan Union | ChalChitra Abhiyaan The decline of farmer identity from the 1990s brought a generation of upwardly mobile Jats close to the BJP. The waning of urban economic opportunities has reminded youth of the security from ties to the land, spurring the resistance to the farm laws. Following the Bharatiya Janata Party government’s attempt earlier this year to forcibly remove farmers protesting the farm laws on the borders of Delhi, the epicentre of the movement has shifted deep into the Jat- dominated villages of western Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Haryana. The large presence of Muslim farmers in the several kisan mahapanchayats across the region has been read as a sign of a reemergence of a farmers’ identity, an identity that had been torn apart by the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots that pitted the mostly Hindu Jats against Muslims. Neither the Jat claim to Hindutva a few years ago nor the re-emergence of a farmer identity in the present happened overnight. The deepening agrarian crisis and changes in social relations in western UP since the 1990s had accelerated social and spatial mobilities in the region, leading to fissures in the farmer’s polity and the BJP gaining politically. A younger generation of upward mobile Jats, dislocated from agriculture, hardly identified with the kisan identity. Urban workspaces and cultures began shaping their socio-political identities.

    DAILY VOCAB DIGESTIVE (25th-FEB-2021) AMID FAULT LINES, A REVIVAL OF THE FARMERS’ IDENTITY Signs of a polarised western U.P. and its agrarian communities unifying are visible in the ongoing farmers’ movement This year in Uttar Pradesh, thousands of farmers gathered on January 29, at the government inter-college ground, Muzaffarnagar, following a call by the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) president, Naresh Tikait, for a ‘mahapanchayat’ to express solidarity with the protest at the Ghazipur border led by his brother, Rakesh Tikait. Among the key speakers was Ghulam Mohammad Jaula, the most influential Muslim leader of the BKU, and considered to be a close friend of the late Mahendra Singh Tikait. The presence of Mr. Jaula and Muslim farmers at the meet has been read as a sign of a re-emerging Jat- Muslim alliance under the kisan identity after the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots affected the social fabric in rural western U.P. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its regional leadership were behind a local caste dispute growing into a communal issue that polarised villages along religious lines. At the time, it seemed that Jat farmers had suddenly claimed the Hindutva identity. But that did not happen overnight. The farmers’ polity has had deep roots while farmers’ mobilisations have a long history in the western U.P. region. The ongoing agrarian change and crisis generated by neoliberal economic policies have shifted the agrarian economy to non-farm occupations. These new developments caused fissures in the farmer’s polity in the north-western region, giving the BJP a political advantage.

  • From Internet Resources PREFACE
    From internet resources PREFACE As Delhi burned under the severe riot against the discrimination based on religion, President of United State Donald Trump was having a Bomance with India in the “Namaste Trump” presented by Prime Minister of India. Modi has tried to shield off poverty and slum by trying to hide the slums by building walls along the route Trump might travel. And the Delhi riots broke out a day before Trumps arrival. The root of the riot is the CAA, NRC and NPR which discriminate Muslim community from other religious groups. There was an immediate protestation and demonstration starting with the student communities in various states and also many states. The demonstrations were more naturally in Delhi. Apparently the BJP had brought in their parivar from some other state and made themselves ready for to start of a massacre. The Police force were also supporting the killlings and stone throwing. On the brighter side of it, many of the Hindu communities stood up for their neighbors. I have been trying make sense of it all and was collecting the news as they emerged from various sources. This is simply a collection of cut and paste of those. This is done so that the coming generations will not forget what happened to India under BJP. History will stand testimony.
